Point A: reference is made to the use of sustainable surface drainage systems (SuDS) for all development proposals.

Anglian Water support the requirement for applicants to include the provision of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). The use of SuDS would help to reduce the risk of surface water and sewer flooding and which have wider benefits e.g. water quality enhancement.

We also note that the policy has been amended to address comments previously made by Anglian Water. The wording of point A is consistent with that proposed by Anglian Water and is therefore supported.

Point B: reference is made to SuDs provision address the risk of flooding including fluvial (river) flooding. However the purpose of SuDs is to manage surface water run off from development proposals and not the risk of river flooding. It is therefore suggested that the the reference to fluvial flooding should be omitted or the text should re-phrased.

Point C: reference is made to Anglian Water's Surface Water Policy which is welcomed. This guidance sets out Anglian Water’s position regarding the management of surface water arising from new and redeveloped areas.
